The lawsuit was filed in 2011 by Pocatello resident Jennie Linn McCormack against Bannock County Prosecutor Mark Hiedeman after the prosecutor charged her with a felony because police said she had an illegal abortion. McCormack's attorney, Richard Hearn, is also a doctor and he's joined the case as another plaintiff, contending that he wants to provide abortion services in the future and that Idaho's laws bar him from doing so.
